Cloud computing is a successful, emerging paradigm that supports on-demand services with pay-as-you-go model. With the exponential growth of data, NoSQL databases have been used to manage data in the cloud. In these newly emerging settings, mechanisms to guarantee Quality of Service heavily relies on performance predictability, i.e., the ability to estimate the impact of concurrent query execution on the performance of individual queries in a continuously evolving workload. This paper presents a performance modeling approach for NoSQL databases in terms of performance metrics which is capable of capturing the non-linear effects caused by concurrency and distribution aspects. Experimental results confirm that our performance modeling can accurately predict mean response time measurements under a wide range of workload configurations.
